What I think is happening here is that the non-anomalous Jocelyn Blom stumbled upon a ritual that she abused for her own personal gain. A ritual that required a sacrifice. And a lot of salt.

With this ritual, she was able to compile an anomalous program that executed in reality, instead of on her computer. This program effectively became Jocelyn Blom, as far as anyone who knew of her, knew of the guy she sacrificed (at least as it related to her), or entered her workplace was concerned.

This program had three functions: finish Jocelyn's work perfectly, make others believe that Jocelyn is a great worker who is definitely working, and cover her tracks concerning the guy she sacrificed.

It worked. Jocelyn Blom had programmed a portion of reality to earn her money while she herself was free to go do whatever she wanted. But computer programs are stupid. And lo and behold, reality programs are even stupider. Her program was too simple, and worked too well.

The 'Jocelyn is definitely here' function of her program did not account for the condemnation of the building. Even after the firm closed, her program remained, because her program cannot but remain.

The 'finish Jocelyn's work' function of her program did not specify accounting-related work. That's why anything 'unfinished' that was presented to the program (even if it wasn't work) became 'Jocelyn's work', which "she" finished, perfectly. Well… almost perfectly.

As best as I can interpret this, 'unfinished work' that is accepted by the program becomes a variable within that program that is returned to reality as 'finished work'. But that work no longer exists as whatever it was before it was accepted by the program. It becomes a return value, a concept that only exists insomuch that it can be identified as 'finished work', and that's all it is.

All of Jocelyn's paperwork, the buttercup they fed to the program, Durham's children, and all instances of SCP-3415-1, have been physically erased from existence. The only thing occupying those empty spaces are concepts, and the information that allows those concepts to be perceived as 'finished', with respect to whatever they were before they were annihilated.

Holy shit.

Again, that's probably all completely wrong. But whatever this thing really is, I love it all the same.

When I read it, I assumed that human entities continued existing, only were imperceptible and doomed to spend their lives alone; or I suppose, as a group of three, Jocelyn and the two children, who are only able to interact with each other and are cut off from the rest of humanity. Though your theory makes more sense tbh.

While the firm was active, since this anomaly was handing out piles of null-data to the company, the company would have been trying to make decisions based on a lack of information that's perceived as information. Also since the anomaly seems to send its null-information and nonsensical false-information into a machine that's expected to receive it (see corrupted video feeds), if an employee tried to put data from "Jocelyn" into a database, the whole database is probably going to get screwed, or at least be filled with inconsistencies and lack a lot of information necessary for the business to run.

Bottom line, there's a decent chance Jocelyn caused the collapse of the company.

Oh, hey, you posted it. This is pretty much my entire aesthetic summed up in a single SCP: strange, horrific internal logic, cognitohazardous mind-fuckery, unexpected implications and vividly creative and gruesome ways that people die. Upvoted.

If this is your first skip, I look forward to seeing what you can do as you improve.
